About me and my therapy practice

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. I can help you through the lows and to make sense of things.

I work with people from all backgrounds and specialise in working with men, or women seeking to better understand difficult relationships with men.

How I work

As an 'integrative' therapist I am skilled in various areas of psychotherapy and can adapt my approach to best meet your needs.

I encourage you to lead the sessions as much as possible talking about what you feel is most important. I am also comfortable, if it is helpful to you, to direct the work a little more in the early sessions.

I work relationally which means that I believe in order to achieve lasting benefits focus must also be targeted to what happens in the room between therapist and client, in addition to past events and current struggles.

Our first session together will typically involve exploring what has brought you to therapy and a little background on what therapy usually involves. We can also discuss how to get the most out of the time together.

Practice description

How therapy works

Over time in a supportive environment you can face and discuss difficult experiences and emotions to help address your current challenges.

You can gain a better understanding of what you want and what you need, why you act in ways that hold you back and why you might be overwhelmed by certain feelings.

This can help you to develop a broader range of skills for dealing with your problems and a greater level of self-acceptance and compassion.

Choosing a therapist

Finding the right therapist can be tricky, not to mention expensive if you end up shopping around. But it is important. Research shows that finding someone you feel at ease with, who you get the sense of being able to trust and build a relationship with over time, gives better results.

My first session

I suggest that at first we meet for an introductory session (£30) where I will complete an assessment and you can ask me any questions about the therapy. 

Should you wish to continue I usually suggest a further 8 sessions at the end of which we would have a review. For some people this will be enough, others may wish to continue.

I work flexibly with my clients which means we might see each other weekly, fortnightly or less frequently, depending on your preference.
